Advantages of Kimtech™ Gloves
Kimtech™ Brand gloves and eyewear protects your process and your employees from known and unknown risks while delivering comfort, dexterity, quality and the assurance to do your best work.
Acceptable Quality Level (AQL)
- Refers to the probability of having defective gloves within a lot.
- The lower the AQL number, the lower the probability of defective gloves.
- Kimtech™ Gloves exceed ASTM standards for freedom from pinholes and critical defects (ASTM = AQL 2.5 Kimtech™ Gloves = AQL 1.5 or better).
- A low AQL for pinholes is important – the lower the number of pinholes, the greater level of barrier protection.
The Importance of Trend & Technical Data*
- Demonstrate consistent product quality over time.
- Trend data indicating particle counts and extractable levels are available for all Kimtech™ G3 and Nitrile Gloves.
